Manually migrate Magento to Hypernode

If for some kind of reason the Hypernode importer tool doesn’t work for you (you might use a module that the importer-script isn’t compatible with) you can also migrate your site to Hypernode manually. Follow the next steps to manually migrate Magento to Hypernode.

NB: If you set some environment variables, you can follow along these instructions by copy-pasting most of the commands in this document to the command line. E.g.:

If you use Magento 1.7.x.x or lower, you will need to install the Redis extension from Collin Mollenhour. This is because older versions of Magento do not have a Redis extension included. Please read further instructions on how to install the Redis Extension.

Check for hardcoded paths in files and fix them manually. You can find them using:

grep -r /home/users .

Flush cache, just to be sure 🙂

n98-magerun cache:flush

Convert the apache configuration you might have done in .htaccess-files to Nginx configuration, see this manual for some hints.

Test your site by creating one or more DNS CNAME records to your Hypernode and configuring base URLs for them, or by temporarily adding entries to your local hosts file.
